Bloed Rongo Bloe, pls.

Did you miss where I stated that I think the timing for it was off? Are you being willfully ignorant, here?

Where was the stupidity other than timing being bad late in a one goal game?

Your damnation of the play is what's "comical."

That was the stupid part.

Now that you've realized this, the next step is realizing it was the biggest part of the play.

I'd be on board with it if it happened at, quite literally, any other juncture of the game. Im also on the fence regarding if it was a play that exemplifies some sort of team toughness, but thats another matter.

All you seem to be arguing is the timing. I have been agreeing with you there. So why do you keep posting these rants when you obviously agree with me for the most part otherwise?

Because, whether you yearn for it so badly or are just defending Kreider, you're also perpetuating a myth that this is some sort of big moment in team toughness, which is a crock.

I don't see how it's a "crock" since we haven't seen any play like this since Avery left. If Kreider can provide that minus the ********, I fail to see how it's anything but a "big moment in team toughness."

I'm not one of those, "BRING AVERY BACK LULZ" guys. You know that. Yet I think it's ridiculous to think that there hasn't been something missing from this team when we got rid of the guy. And, to a lesser extent, when we got rid of Dubinsky. Hell, even if we can get some of what we lost when Dubinsky left it will be a huge thing for this team.

Prust and Dubinsky used to bring that element -- more importantly, they usually did it at the right time of the game without the circus atmosphere.

What Kreider did also reminded me of Avery, which isn't a good thing.

We want the same thing, I just dont think this particular play was a good example of it, and I hope Kreider channels it in a better way.

Kreider brings more "circus atmosphere" than Prust - or especially Dubi?

I think we can all agree here. It was a (mis)step in the right direction.

Kreider is nothing like Avery. 99% of the time he never does the things that Avery did. In regards to the penalty it was a bad time to do it BUT only did it to protect his teammate AND he apologized after the game. If yout think Kreider will make a habit of this then i think you are reaching

I don't mind some of what Avery brought. I just don't like the circus act crap.

I didnt say that, at all.

But if I had to choose between Kreider turning into Avery, or the zombie he was up until about 2 weeks ago, I'd choose the Avery option.

Again kireider has more talent than avery. avery was an agitatpr that was his job. krieder has probably been one of our top players

Or a truck.
I agree that he will eventually have to answer the bell one of these days. Mash is an exceptional fighter, maybe he can learn from him.

Let mash/whomever be team pugilist.

To extent Kreider will have to drop them, he will, but he won't do so unless required, which is smart.

Past Ranger he reminds me most of (in regards to putting up his dukes) is Walt Tkaczuk.
Very -- unbelievably -- strong. So no one will want to fight him, which is fine, want him more focused on using all that incredible talent.

Which I called.
From way back when, when so many of you were doubters.

And now he is past Dave Keon territory, hovering around early Kovalev.
Next stop will be the next Pavel Bure. My prediction is he will make it.

However, it will help and speed things up if,

AV ARE YOU LISTENING

once again, there is a super speed line w/Miller centering Kreider and either Cally or Fast (or Hags if he can handle off wing).

PS couldn't post before but Miller first goal of last game, set up w/Kreider, facilitated by CK defensive pressure, is what I'm talking about.
 
So another two secondary assists for kreids tonight. BS, those don't mean ****, we all know that.
So how many points does he really have this season, barring secondary assists I mean.

Ummm....one was a primary assist. And on the first goal he started that play in the neutral zone to lead to the goal.

I hop this post wasn't serious.

Obviously it was not. Assist is an assist, but for some on this board its not unless its their boy:)
 
2 goals 8 assists in 11 games. 3rd on the team in assists now. he really could have 4 or 5 goals though. its very exciting watching him play this year with how much better hes gotten in seemingly a few weeks.
 
are you referring to zuccarello apparently being discredited for accumulating mostly secondary assists?

I am referring to the general double standard when it comes to giving credit, or critizizing, our players in general.
McD offensivse drive is usually awesome, MzD attempt is awful (as an example)
